IR New Albums - Ver 2006

"Cheran's last movie(with Sabesh Murali as MD) and his new movie are totally different themes. You cannot compare the situation for the "unnai Saran adinden" song with any in MK. Each movie and situation brings out different kinds of tunes."

dont give me this crap about different situations. Cheran asked for a "love song" thats all. You can hear it in the discussion itself. Unnai saran adaindhen was a "love song" too. The films might be different, but the song situations are often the same 90% of the time in Tamil films.

Vijayr, Raja fan was not referring to that song. He had quoted some other song in the same movie. Anyway my point is that one should avoid ridiculing any song by any music director. Ofcourse MD's like IR need not be dragged down just to defend against someone. We can always make our point by indicating whether we like the song or we do not like that particular song. Comparing it with a another movie (even of the same director) and saying the other MD has given better music and saying such things like Raja's well of music has dried up is again totally uncalled for as well. Just stick to the music of that movie. IR has nothing to prove anymore and his output will not be consistently good anymore unless its by a really good director/actor or inspiring movie. Music is an art which depends on inspiration. Its not like you pay some md and he gives you great songs like purchasing some goods or writing some code to get a result. The md needs to be inspired and motivated to produce great music. IR is not at this stage with the kind of movies he is doing and the directors seem to be ok with the songs he gives instead of challenging him for better ones. Even then his melodies are always much better than 95 % of the current md's songs.

At first I was also very disappointed with MK songs...but after repeated listens...I like Ulagilae song very much. The rythm and bass arrangements in this movie are excellent....the first interlude in elae was superb. I think IRs tunes have become very soft and subtle and that is why unlike songs of before, we are not able to catch on to them easily. His music of before was very strong and vibrant...and the ones of now is very subtle. I think unless we adapt and try to understand a bit more...we will not like anything that comes from him now a days.

In any case, I miss his earlier music...but I am slowly learning to appreciate some of his recent music.

Vijayr,

If you do not like MK songs, then tell that and I accept that there can be valid reasons for that ( like not so good orchestration, rehashes etc ).

But do not speak as though you know everything about what went on between Cheran and IR, Cheran and the 'great' Sabesh-Murali etc.

Yes, all directors have a love song in their script. You and me do not know about how Cheran delivered the whole script or situation to IR in MK. We cannot just go by the 2 mins audio conversation provided in the CD.
For the same love song situation, how IR turned up with splendid "Mandara poo" in Vinoda yatra ?

"Konjam" song in MK has bubbly cell phone conversation between lovers. I think IR has given a very well suited tune and Pa.Vijay has given appropriate lyrics.

It is really disgusting to know that any guy with good music taste can compare Sabesh-Murali with another good music director. that too with IR..Either you should be a die hard fan of Deva & brothers or you do not have good music taste.

There is no use in talking to you any more.

what is truly disgusting is that you would ridicule Sabesh-Murali or any other MD blindly, while totally ignoring the product that they have given. No one is comparing their overall composing abilities with that of IR. Just the song that they managed to give for the SAME director and for the SAME situation. Thats all. Sorry if the truth is bitter. Yet, when thavamaai thavamirundhu was released, I remember reading comments here as to how great IR would have scored for this situation or that. appo mattum comparison OK illa? Now when the same comparison is made, the likes of you would come around advising everyone that IRs songs shouldnt be compared with anyone else's and all that crap. If you are not able to appreciate a song like "unnai saran adaindhen" accept that and I will perfectly understand.

If not, save your BS for some one else :-)

Any news on Ajanta audio ?

Ajanta Audio is playing hide and seek..i have been searching hi and low through google and not even 1 site mentions it audio except the hindu....i guess since this is a casette release people are still taking time to move all 36 songs to CD format...or maybe the producers are waiting for the audio to be release in every language before it is brought to the stores...:?

Vijay sir calm down pennunga...agreed mayakannadi tunes are not immortal..but Raja's expertise has been more of the music and instruments that have been made for the song rather than the actual tunes. The bass guitar and the music that raja loves to give is still there...its only the tune that is bringing the soundtrack down...for listeners like me...i give more importance to the music on display rather than the tune/lyrics...even if the tune is attractive enough...it will lose significance if the music is mediocre :D

Guys, if you have noticed vijayr's posting over the past years, you could have easily predicted the outburst after any new IR albums. The launch of new IR albums have been almost invitation to spew vitriol on IR and his fans in his postings. I strongly believe that it has nothing do with either the quality of IR's songs or compositions. There will be no IR album irrespective of its quality that will ever get any recognition in his postings.

However the foolishness exhibited in his postings is the anger that is exhibited at the fact that other people can still enjoy IR's music and adore him because it contradicts with his opinions.

I have tried to reply to his postings in vain that preferences among people are not homogenous. It was his posting that first dragged in Sabesh Murali in an attempt to degrade IR. Where his postings miss the point is that while his posting may genuinely refelect his opinion that sabesh murali would have scored better than IR, where his postings misses the point is that others may equally genuinely feel that such an opinion may be ridiculous.


I do not ever expect that his postings are ever going to acknowledge the postings here reflect the heterogenous preferences of people. For example, I just love Mayakannadi songs and have been playing this over and over for last week or so since I got my CD.

Let me predict what you will see from his postings as response. You will see sentences from the others postings, taken out of context, and in quotes and more of such irrational arguements.

For those who get perturbed by his postings, you have two choices - either you get converted to the thinking in his postings and agree that Sabesh Murali and every other MD now and ever composed anything and will be composing are better than IR or just ignore his postings and continue to psot your opinions.

There will be no chance of his postings ever ever acknowledging any arguements you will ever make in IR's defense. For who are going to keep trying to do this - good luck!

Typical (moronic) post from our usual suspect.

ROTFL!, as if everyone here thinks the album is great and Iam the lone dissenting voice. Go back and read the responses. Some of the opinions mentioned here are more critical than mine. Not just of Maayakannadi, but most of IRs new releases.

Thats fine, opinions differ. but raja fan, instead of acknowledging the fact that I or anyonne else have the right to feel different about the song, started attacking everyone personally. Thats where the problem started. Here is a sample:

I didnt go about ridiculing someone for their opinions. I have only responded to personal attacks.
